Bouncing Higher

8th March 2010

The following announcement on the BG website affects international competition from this September onwards and is highly likely to filter into UK competitions over the next year to 18-months so good reason to start to work on getting those routines a little higher:

The FIG Executive have approved a new Code of Points for Trampoline which will come into affect on 1st September 2010 and which will include Time of Flight to be used in all rounds of individual competition (first, second and final routines).

The Time of Flight will be added to the current scoring system i.e. a routine score is E+E+E+D+T (T=Time of Flight).

The FIG EC has also approved a document that outlines the functional properties of the “machine” (TMD - Time Measuring Device) developed by the TRA-TC and the Apparatus Commission together.

For further information please visit the FIG website.

Hull Gala Results

7th March 2010

More detail to follow but a very good weekend for us in Hull. Saturday had Hannah McCann and Charlotte Webb entering their first FIG B event whilst Sunday we had Chrissie law & Anthony Williams in the National C competition. Hannah & Charlotte were not able to repeat their 1/2 in their last National C but did very well indeed beating many regular FIG B competitors taking 4th and 5th places respectively. Anthony & Chrissie both also finalled with Anthony taking 5th and Chrissie 7th.

Early Season Highs

8th February 2010

Early season has been seeing Brentwood excel in all areas of competition. We have seen our members succeed in both regional and schools competitions and this weekend was the turn for national competitors. There were mixed results at the Gloucester Gala weekend with a disappointing day for Chrissie but delight for Hannah and Charlotte streaking away from the competition with a 1-2 placing (decided between them on tie-break), a new personal best for Charlotte and qualification for both to national finals/FIG B competition.

School's Results

28th January 2010

Apologies to our members competing in the Zonal School's Finals on 17th January for not getting this on-line sooner but despite being late, we're pleased to report an excellent day for our members:

Charlotte Webb took second in the under-15 girls Elite;
Daniel Frost (despite being 2 grades lower than most) narrowly missed qualification to nationals in 4th place in under-19 boys Elite and is now sweating on somebody above him dropping out;
Maddison Merritt won the under-11 girls Novice;
Susanna Badley won the under-13 girls Novice closely followed by Fiona Humphries and Lucy Phillips making it a 1-2-3 for the region and club;
Susanna & Lucy were also joined by Emma Brereton and Ellie Guy in winning through as a team for Coopers Coborn.

Brentwood Grading 24th January 2010

25th January 2010

From Brentwood Grading 2010

Some disappointments I know but by and large a really successful day. First of all thanks to all of you who turned out to help set-up and took on tasks during the day but particularly very big thanks to the small number who were there Sunday evening putting it all away again.

A full report is on our website here but, in the, meantime headline news is:

34 club members taking part in 12 different classes;
7 individual and 7 team winners;
4 taking second places;
2 taking 3rd places;
8 improving on personal best scores;

On the downside, only 5 managed to achieve qualifying scores (although a few were only a few decimal points off) - judging really is very tight right now it seems.

News Updates

15th January 2010

We are issuing an important news update to members at the moment addressing a number of key topics. If you have not received one during training sessions please see Dave before or after training. Alternatively, you can download a copy by visiting our website here.

Brentwood Grading - Postponed

8th January 2010

Following discussions with ECGA about Sunday's competition, the decision has been made to postpone it until 24th January.

This decision has been taken because travel in the outer reaches of the region are still predicted to be difficult on Sunday and for many it would be unsafe to travel.

More Snow Update

7th January 2010

Although most of the local schools are closed today it seems that Brentwood School is functioning normally and, having just called the centre, they expect to be open this evening until 9pm again so it looks like Thursday sessions will be running pretty much as normal. Please check back later for any update to this though.

Snow Update

6th January 2010

--UPDATE--

The centre has just confirmed that they will be open this evening until 9pm and so we will be running sessions as normally as possible.

--END UPDATE--

There has been quite a lot of snow in Brentwood overnight and today and several schools (including in the last hour) Brentwood School are either closed or have sent pupils home early. As at time of writing, though, the Brentwood School Sports Centre has not yet made any decision about whether or not they will be open as usual this evening. Please check back later for updates.
